Old City Beer Garden

"If you work anywhere near Old City, your tolerance for waiting in line behind indecisive tourists at every bar is probably at an all-time low around mid-July. So you may be skeptical of a place that’s about a block from Independence Hall, but this bar is the most low-key one you’ll find in the area. It’s essentially just an empty lot next to Sto’s filled with a few picnic tables, some corn hole boards, and a bunch of beach chairs that people bring themselves. The small tiki shack you order from has tons of local canned beers, and you’re pretty much guaranteed that you won’t be discovered unless someone’s gotten completely lost on their way to the Constitution Center." - sydney mcelwee

"Set in a lot off Market Street, Old City Beer Garden is an expansive space to cheer on your favorite team (the Eagles, right?). There are eight TVs throughout the beer garden, which requires reservations, in addition to a lengthy list of beers, spiked seltzers, ciders, and shots. Game-ready fare like wings, tacos, and nachos are available as well." - Jillian Wilson

"As far as outdoor bars go in Old City, OCBG is probably the most low-key one you'll find.

The small tiki shack you order from has tons of local canned beers, and you’re pretty much guaranteed that you won’t be discovered unless someone’s gotten completely lost on their way to the Constitution Center." - Sydney McElwee
